Officers from the Kenton County Police Department, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport Police, and the Independence Fire Department were sent to Twenhofel Middle School after the threat was reported.

Police told WLWT News 5 that one seventh-grade student texted another student that there was a bomb in a locker at the school.

Students were moved to another building as the threat was being investigated, police said.

Nothing was found and students were allowed back in the school just before 2 p.m.

School officials noted in their release that making false statements about weapons of mass destruction on school grounds could be considered terroristic threatening, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The release, which school officials said would be their last on the matter, did not say whether the juvenile student had been charged.
